Frequently Asked Questions

What does DIY stand for?

DIY stands for “do-it-yourself.” The idea is to pick up the skills to build, modify and repair things yourself rather than only buying finished products — and to have a bit of fun learning along the way.

What tools will I need?

For most projects, basic hand tools are plenty: screwdrivers, side cutters, pliers and a soldering iron. Anything that needs 3D printing or CNC work can be handed off to one of the manufacturing services if you don’t have the kit yourself.

I don’t have a 3D printer or other equipment. What can I do?

You have a few good options:

• Use the equipment at a local library or makerspace.
• Use an online printing service such as PCBWay or Slant 3D.
• Ask a fellow maker through a community like the r/3Dprintmything subreddit.

Do you provide support?

Yes — each project ships with its own documentation, and you can always reach me through the contact page. You’ll also catch me on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
